[Verse]

C/G
Ridin' the rails
C/G
Ridin' the rails
F                             C/G
Wheels of steel again rolling through
G                                C/G
Pulling cars for passengers like you
F         G               C/G
Everybody ought to ride a train
F                    G             C/G
Get on board they're outward bound again


[Chorus]

           Am         Dm  G7
Ridin' the rails, hmm hmm
           C/G
Ridin' the rails

C/G
Ridin' the rails
F                                           C/G
Hey watch em' proudly roll on new laid track
G                                      C/G
It's a better way to get you there and back
F                    G              C/G
And like a brand new day she's up today
F                    G             C/G
For bringing in your lover or your freight


[Chorus]

           Am         Dm  G7
Ridin' the rails, hmm hmm
           C/G
Ridin' the rails

Riding the rails
C/G
Riding the rails
F                                 C/G
Long and sleek and made for movin' on
G                                       C/G
Shout here she comes and she's already gone
F               G                 C/G
Tip your hat to them when they go by
F                               G           C/G
They're a way of life that will never never die


[Chorus]

           Am         Dm  G7
Ridin' the rails, hmm hmm
           C/G
Ridin' the rails, hmm
